I dont think AP or EAD is that useful... Well, EAD is a good backup whenever you have the potential to lose a job,,I renewed it once but luckily I did not have to use it. I only applied for AP once. Never used it....I still went to get my visa at the embassy this last time visiting China, I decided to stick to my H1b. I heard there are consequences if you activate EAD or AP, so I have always been trying to avoid using it. I can understand your pain. I do think ppl with PD around 07 Aug to 07 Dec are with a lot of bad luck... Maybe it is time for us to fight!

ok, this reminds me of something. I had a conversation with another chinese lady one time, and eventually we concluded that EAD is very useful to the spouse, it allows them to work. I have to give you that. But I dont have a spouse that is why to me I did not see its benefits that much.

ok, I do not intend to argue over this, it does not change anything. The reality is, either you or me or other eb2s, we have waited for more than 4 years, it is essentially the same to me. I do not have a valid EAD or AP right now, so even if I lose my job, I have to renew them and I could get RFEed during that window. So there is risk there too. I am more interested in changing the situation. I have contacted NIU and became a volunteer. I will contribute what I can offer.

Well, EAD is indeed a good backup, but it soulds stupid if one got AP but did not use it and went to apply for visa instead if the time to visit China was tight (say 2-3 weeks). There is consequence if you use EAD, but there is no consequence if you use AP. If you still don't feel safe, get your status back to H-1B by renewing it after you use AP.

原文是 I dont think AP or EAD is that useful... 然后逻辑是我用不上,我没LD,我怕激活AP有后果。所以对我没用,得出结论 I dont think AP or EAD is that useful... 所以你相信吗,你拿到了AP和EAD也没用,反正我是信了。

I had AP once in 2007, I had just visited China in 2006 twice. And the AP gave me three entries in the next 12 months. At that time, it was not that attractive to me, since I just went back. Though in the summer of 2008, some situation came up at my job, I could not go back before all my AP expired, so I basically did not take advantage of AP at all. My attorney asked me to apply for them when I filed my 485 during 0707 da chao. I had no idea what it was when I filed. So then I decided AP is useless for me. I am not sure how much it costs now , but I spent over $300 to get that 3 entries for 1 year. Most of the ppl cant afford going back and forth 3 times in a year, probably just 1, so is me. So my math is that, this 1AP = $300, on the other hand, if I get my visa, 1 visa = $140. I think visa is cheaper.

you do not have to concentrate on what I said in reply to another person's post this much. I did not post a new thread to announce to the whole world that I think EAD/AP is useless, right? It was just my casual response to that person telling him it is not a big deal not to have it. And obviously I forgot about the benefit that spouses could have from this, which I added in my later posts... And you do not have to be this sarcastic to me, what is your purpose? To prove to other ppl I have bad intentions? I was just expressing my own opinion. If you are really angry, be angry with the immigration system, if you really want to change your fate, join NIU or do whatever you feel like to do something good for you and for everybody here.

I am angry that it's not a easy time for anyone. And yet some people with a better-than-most situation come out and play the victim role. Get it? This ends here, I won't reply to this post any more.

I do not know how you concluded I am a "better than most". I, however, look at myself as "one of us". Everyone has their own situation, I felt as like fate is playing a joke on me when this VB came out and posted this thread to express myself. I do not know when your PD is, but I paid my deuce., it has been 4 years and 4 months. By the time I might get my GC in the next 3- 6 months, it will really be getting up there in time. I do not see how I am above average. I am a victim, so are you probably, you could come out and talk about your own if you want. Maybe the more ppl jump out and talk about this, the more we will realize there are still some many ppl suffering from this system, the more we will feel like standing up for ourselves.
